I bought this to hold Cost Plus World Market k-cups so they won't go stale. It's a classic piece of technology that never ages.The image shows a patterned seal but mine came with a simple white rubber seal. No big deal unless you're an interior decorator.

The only problem I had with this jar is that the release handle lays (lies?) flat against the glass and I can't get my finger under it to release the catch. I took a pair of vice-grips and bent the wire slightly to move it away from the glass. It works fine now.

I've been using these jars, in this size as well as 2L and 4L, for fermenting over the last several months and I can't recommend them highly enough for that purpose. So far I've used them for sauerkraut, sauerruben, curtido, fermented lemons, and beet kvass and they've done the job perfectly each time.

Some folks have expressed a concern that these jars could explode as a result of due to the pressure that builds up during fermentation, but I honestly don't believe this is a possibility. Even if there is some defect in the jar that could result in it's breaking, the results would not be explosive, they'd just be a mess. And the jars are so well made, I don't even think about that. Minus some defect in the jar itself, the pressure will vent past the lid gasket.

Here are a couple other videos that address that possibility...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFq-JwONuJwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeUE8uKaiAw

Of course, the beauty of it is that the pressure keeps oxygen from entering your ferment from outside the jar, which can allow undesirable bacteria to form and spoil your ferment or create mold or what have you. The jars also look very nice on your counter or in your pantry and could obviously be used to store any number of things.

Nice, very nice indeed. But I needed a wide-mouth bottle for water kefir second ferment (with fruit) to contain the carbonation. It mostly worked, but not like the tiny-mouthed Bormioli lock-tops - which the fruit gets a bit caught up in (impeded pouring) and are difficult to clean without bringing out the salt and shaking etc. The big phat lid doesn't exactly lay perfectly flat due to the ergonomics of the lock mechanism, but again, it kinda works. I can get better carbonation with the tiny-mouthed lock-tops, of course, but I wanted something easier to clean and more conducive to chunks of fruit. Lastly, none of these bottles/jars pour well if there's fruit in the way, and this is the worst pour even being able to manage the fruit chunks. I need a medium-mouth lock-top. Bormioli: can you hear me now?

This is a nifty little storage jar (and it comes in a range of sizes). It is squared on the sides and seals tightly with (or without) the rubber "lip". Love that whatever you store - dried rice, beans, pasta - is visible and how much you have before a refill is needed is great. The glass is substantial, no fear of accidentally cracking it in washing or if dropped on linoleum in the kitchen. And of course, glass can be sterilized with hot washing. Well priced. Very good value.

I have purchased several of these products. I can't say enough about them, they are that GOOD ! My wife and I store just several types of solid food (Coffee, Tea, Sugar, Pasta, Dried Spices and so on) product in them. The product stays fresh and NO unwanted guests if you follow my drift ? They also can be cleaned in the dish washer which keeps them clean without fear of bacteria build up as you can get with plastic storage containers.

I love these jars, my pantry is full of them. I use them for all grains/flours/nuts/seeds/raisins (they're GREAT at keeping raisins moist and not dry and clumped together. Brown sugar is also great in them). They are airtight and keep the products fresh, yet easy to open/close, have nice sized openings which will accommodate my hand, spoons, or decent-sized scoops. It's also nice to easily see the contents, both for what's in each and also how much of something I have. They each came with a gasket. I have found the 33 3/4 oz jar to be the most useful, but frankly have probably every size available, and find uses for all of them. I can't say enough good things about them, I love them.

I started to make homemade Kimchi again and was looking for the right size jar. This is a great size, perfect for 1 medium size head of Nappa cabbage fermented. The seal is great and the odor does not escape. Fits perfectly in my frig which I was looking for that takes up just the right amount of space. My frig is for two people, not a full size.

Good quality jar to store food or anything that you need a tight seal. The Italian quality is well demonstrated from the clear jar, while not cheap, these are well worth the price. I bought the 1L (1.2 Q) to culture kefir, the rubber seal is able to maintain the airtightness. I am using two of these to rotate around for my kefir and that includes washing with boiling water and going in the fridge. The jars are able to handle the regular duty without any issues. I was a bit worried about the durability of the metal parts but after handling it, it seems to be well built with good quality metal to last for a long time.
